Multiply = increase or cause to increase greatly in number or quantity: Goal of this conference is to inspire, develop and encourage students to know God personally and live for Him daily as a disciple who makes disciple, who makes disciples.
The opportunity to get away to Glen Eyrie and the mountains and spend uninterrupted time seeking and knowing God has always been a very important part of the ministry.
This is an incredible week of teaching, worship, community, nature, friendship, and growth. There will be main sessions from incredible speakers and workshops for focused development. All this is accompanied by plenty of scheduled and unplanned fun.

Glen Live: A variety show with some talent but lots of fun! (Great Hall)
The area now known as Garden of the Gods was first called Red Rock Corral by the Europeans. Then, in August 1859, two surveyors who helped to set up Colorado City explored the site. One of the surveyors, M. S. Beach, suggested that it would be a "capital place for a beer garden". His companion, the young Rufus Cable, awestruck by the impressive rock formations, exclaimed, "Beer Garden! Why, it is a fit place for the Gods to assemble. We will call it the Garden of the Gods"
Glen Eyrie is an English Tudor-style castle built in 1871 by General William Jackson Palmer, the founder of Colorado Springs. This house was his and his wife's dream home, and is near Colorado Springs in the northwest foothills just north of the Garden of the Gods rock formations (now a city park).

The Workshops
Monday
The Gospel Comes with an Apartment Key
(Carriage House Granary)
CJ Boone, OSU BCM Staff, Stillwater, OK
Why hospitality is important in the Christian life and how to do it well in college. We will talk through some of the biblical principles of hospitality, how it relates to sharing the gospel, and how to apply it to college life.
Get a Grip! Choosing Faith over Fear
(Big Horn Lodge Lower Meeting Room)
Rhonda Gayle, Director of Kids' and Women's Ministries at Hope Church, Fort Worth, TX
When life starts swirling around you and you begin to feel overwhelmed, sometimes you just have to get a grip and hang on as God takes you through the chaos. Learn some very practical ways to "choose faith" in the middle of uncertain and trying circumstances.
Discipling in Deep Waters
(Carriage House Loft)
John Strappazon, Trajectory Ministries, Fort Worth, TX
The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out. Proverbs 20:5 “One size fits all” discipleship really fits none. People are unique and helping them walk with Jesus requires some insight into the individual. Get some ideas on how to impart the basics while encouraging discovery and development of each person’s God given uniqueness.
A Mighty Man and His Mission
(Oaks Lodge Meeting Room)
Chris Haynes, College Pastor at Trinity Baptist Church, Norman, OK
We all want to know our purpose, why we are here and what we should be doing. In this workshop we will look at several Scriptures that God gives us in His Word that clearly direct men to their mission.
What’s On Your Mind?
(Carriage House Dining)
Dr. Jennifer Slater, Lecturer, University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK
This workshop will look at the power of your thought life and give you Biblical insight and hope as to how to change negative patterns, enforce truth, and identify and fight the lies that we often believe about ourselves and God.
You Are Not the Center of God’s Universe (And Other Beautiful Truths about the Gospel and God’s Mission in His World)
(Castle 303)
Gavin Hart, Minister of Student Discipleship at Christ Community Church, OKC, OK
Have you ever seriously thought through what the Bible says about missions? Why do we need missions, and what is our role in it? These questions (and many others like them) are not just for elite 'special' Christians or academics, but are intimately connected to our understanding of the gospel and our relationship with God and every person we will ever meet. In other words, it's relevant to everyone. Come join the discussion and learn some foundational principles of God's mission and truth about your role in it all.
Wednesday
Christ is Greater: Christology from Hebrews to Equip Believers for Discipleship
(Carriage House Granary)
Garrett Slater, Minister to College Students, Bethel Baptist Church, Norman, OK
As we follow Jesus, and make disciples our Christology matters. It impacts what we teach, how we develop spiritual disciplines for ourselves, and how we encourage others to follow Christ. In this breakout we will focus on the book of Hebrews to give us a clear picture of the work of Christ today and how we as believers are to worship, evangelize, make disciples, and live on mission.
How to Help People Who Are Struggling
(Big Horn Lodge Lower Meeting Room)
John-Mark Hart, Pastor, Christ Community Church, Oklahoma City, OK
Everybody has problems. Some of us are struggling with relationships, school, work, or money. Some are struggling with depression, anxiety, or anger. Some are struggling with sin, doubt, or spiritual discouragement. Jesus enters into our struggles to help us by his grace, and he invites us to join him in this work by helping one another. In this workshop, we will learn biblical principles and practical skills for helping people who are struggling.
Understanding and Living the Upside Down Kingdom
(Oaks Lodge Meeting Room)
Bobby Pruett, Former State Director of Colorado Christian Challenge, Boulder, CO
As followers of Jesus our allegiance first and foremost is to his upside down kingdom rather than to any country on earth. This frame of reference connects us to Jesus and others in a purposeful way. We will discuss applications in the area of evangelism and more.
Sharing Your Faith in Workplace or Where Witnessing Is Discouraged or Prohibited
(Great Hall)
Jerry White, Former President of the Navigators
We will discuss how to witness in places where it is viewed as proselytizing or opposed.... such as in the secular workplace, the military or even among your close friends who are not open to Jesus. I will share from my experience as an Air Force General, scientist in the field of space and military, and as leader of the Navigators
Sharing the Gospel
(Carriage House Hayloft)
Matthew Beasley, Pastor at Hope Community Church, Norman, OK
Telling others about Jesus is a key component of our discipleship, and yet for a variety of reasons it can be one of the most neglected parts of the Christian life. In this workshop we'll discuss how we can be people who joyfully and actively share the gospel, and we'll talk about some principles and tools for effective evangelism.
Am I Called? How Do I Get Ready?
(Carriage Room)
Micah Englehart, Former OU BCM Staff, Fort Worth, TX
God sets some people apart for unique roles or seasons of ministry in his kingdom, usually foregoing other career opportunities. If you have a sense that God might be calling you to focused work and leadership in his kingdom, this breakout is for you. College minister, pastor, missionary, counselor, teacher, lay leader ... whatever is on the table, we'll talk about how to get clarity in your calling and then, how to faithfully prepare for the life God wants you to live.
Thursday

The Devil’s Tactics and How to Win against His Lies
(Carriage House Granary)
Noble & Cassidy Paddyaker, OU BCM Staff, Norman, OK
Do you ever feel like you’re the only one you know who is dealing with anxiety? Would you say that your responsibilities are too hard to handle? When it’s time to get some work done, do you often find yourself too tired? Satan is a liar! He tries all he can to stop us from moving forward in our walk with God and handling our responsibilities well. Learn his tactics and win against his lies!
Unchanging God, Ever-Changing World
(Carriage House Dinning)
Wanda Strappazon, Trajectory Ministries, Fort Worth, TX
The world is constantly changing around us. With COVID, political and physical wars, social issues, as well as the challenges of everyday life, we may experience feelings of uncertainty or even despair. Find help and hope in the resources of our unchanging God.
The Gospel According To Post Malone (& Your Other Favorite Rappers)
(Great Hall)
Paul Lewis, OSU BCM Director, Stillwater, OK
This workshop will take an in-depth look at the message, advice, and worldviews of your favorite rappers and see how they intersect the message of the Bible. Learn to take what you hear and examine the Scriptures to see if it’s true (Acts 17:11).
The Least of These and the Great Commission
(Castle 202)
Bethany Pruett, OU BCM Staff, Norman, OK & Robby Pruett, Director of QJoy International, Boulder, CO
How helping those who are overlooked or ignored can open doors for the gospel and discipleship among some of the most unreached peoples in the world.
Forgiveness Is a Big Deal with God
(Castle 303)
Sandra Barnett, Homemaker, OU BCM, Norman, OK
Why is it so hard for us as Christians who have been forgiven so much to forgive others who have hurt us, overlooked us, spread a rumor about us, or sinned against us in some way? Come and let's consider it.

speak to God in prayer
Praying through the ACTS is a easy guide.
Adoration
This is the purest kind of prayer because it’s all for God. Tell the Lord that you love Him. Reflect on His greatness. See the diagram for help.
Confession
Confession is a formal statement admitting/agreeing that one is guilty. When we apply this to prayer, it means we agree with God’s estimation of what we’ve done.
Thanksgiving
Think of several specific things to thank Him for: your family, your business, your church— even thank Him for hardships.
Supplication
This means to “ask for, earnestly and humbly.” Pray for others, and for yourself. Include people around the world, missionaries, friends, and those who have yet to hear about Jesus.
